DC as the capitol was intentionally not a part of the country because whichever state houses the capitol will have inordinate control over the others. it was never intended that people would live in DC... only temporary housing/hotels for congress, ambassadors, diplomats, and their staff.
today, DC has become antithetical to the vision there once was. depending on the source, roughly half of the top 6 richest counties in america surround DC. move to top 20, and again, roughly half are DC area.
it's a simple fact... the federal government has become an overbloated embezzlement system. they steal from the taxpayer and reward their inner circle and loyalists with more and more stolen resources.
look at big gov states and they do the same exact thing. NYC, Sacramento, Chicago... the list goes on. the politicians and their supporters live a life of luxury paid for by us.
